...while students line up to take one or five or maybe even ten of these cookies back to their tables during lunch or dinner, no one seems to know exactly what Ranger Cookies are, why they taste so good, or, for that matter, why on earth they’re even called “Ranger Cookies” in the first place. This is Hahvahd after all, not some sort of dude ranch in one of the many fly-over states between here and LAX?...
...Fish That Became Too Popular Tuna has been eaten for thousands of years. The Greeks sliced, salted and pickled it, and Mediterranean bluefin was a staple of the Roman soldier's lunch box. But modern Japan's taste for the fish, coupled with rising demand in the U.S., Europe and China, has driven the Atlantic bluefin to become "the poster child of overfishing worldwide," says Monterey's Sutton.

Behind the pianist, another student waits patiently for his turn. Upstairs in the art room, a senior is using the lunch hour to apply more brushstrokes to a portrait. A few kids are playing pickup ball in the gym, but more are crowded in the library...
...causality, can be applied across a number of subjects. Principal Investigator Tina A. Grotzer provides an example of the latter: “Kids come into the cafeteria, and they talk a little louder to be heard over the person next to them…and pretty soon the lunch lady’s yelling at them. They’re all upset because it’s not their fault…their intentions are just to be heard,” she says...
